The above Presentment Uf the. Grand. Jury
we publish as matter of Public. interest.: • It
is of especialinterest to the people - ot - Sus:l
quehanna county, • wile, though aware that
some action of the kind wits taken . , by .the
Grand Jury, are, not probably aware - , i)f the
shape which it assumed.. ;
The,Ceurt gave. the ; matter in rharg(c
questing; we understand, that some action :of
of
the kind should be taken,4 7 that the Grand Ju.l
iT should present to the' court, after due , ex-.•
areination, whether our present Jail necomnio
&thins were sufficient, safe, die. Every Mae
i. they:county:Mtn knoWs the condition of the
Jail; we preSume, would answer at once that
anew vitem much needed. And farther than
that, a new Court House, or a complete repair
of the old one, would greatly facilitate the pub
, .
lie business, and add much to the convenience
and: comfort of the ptiblici who are obliged to
attend to the transaction of the business - of
the County. .
The Grand Jury then, discharged the duty
,
imposed upon them honestly, and faithfmly.÷-
But why was the matter brought before the
••. • •
in that shape ? Under existing circumstances'
was that the proper Manner fur the question;
to come before them I Exist there not rea
sons which should dictate an .entire :different
mode of procedure, if theolje . ct sotight to be
attained is the permanent location bf the
County Sett by the erection of a new jail, to
giber with it Court House. or the repair of
the.old one' If the attention of thei Grand ii
Jury was called to the subject for song other!
reason than the supposed one, it seems to 'us
like trifling witli a graie matter; and if the
object Was the apparent cue, to have:a new
Jail erected and the Court House repaired at
the expense of the county, thus throwing the •
whole bnrthen where it does not all belong, it
is certainly time that the thing: is understood
by the people, that they nany, be prepared to I
act intelligently.
At the lust session of ihe Legislature a law }
was passed in ielation to, this matter, , ,whield
was puhlished in our'paper of the first of Miiy I
last. We are not going to discuss that laiv
now;-we may dolso some 'time hence. How
ever wise or unwise that may be in its pre
visions,—however acceptable to the county at
large, or otherwise .s—whetber or not the' peh
ple of the county 'were Willing it sho3ld
inain,and that the County Seat questioifehonld
be settled by it,—we doubt not all suppoied
its provisions would - be regarded, at this time,
in any movement preliminary to the erection
of new buildings for the nse of the - county.
-- That law presides for ibe_creetion of anew
Court House and Jail, jointly, and that $5OOO
should be raised by - taxation on the Borough
of 31.Ontrosetowardsii30 Object One Grand
Jury , was to pasi upon thO matter before lhe
County Commiisioners should be authorized
to proceed in the work. Notwithstanding that
:law, and those provisions, this, Movement,
seems to hale proceeded under the' old °Merl
of things, first the presentment of two conscH
otive Grand Juries; then leaving the, matters
in the hands of the CommisiiOners. Now why
was this so ! Why Was the Grand Jury, by
by_ the force of circumstances, absolutely com
pelled to make this Presentment! It strikes
ns ou the face that there is a lack of good faith
on the part of some men in 'Montrose, not to
Bay a disposition evinced to overreach and take
advantage of the peoide of the county. If the
i l laW of last S2ssion is to be regarded, why not
regard lea fie outset? Why begin Wrong
if there is an intention to 'carry it out right!:
r What great necessity existed for callingup the
question at the lase Term, if circumstances
were Such as to make
: It improper - that the law
alluded to should be reeerded ? Would it not
have been bettet that the' ofhole matter should:
have rested till it could _have.een brought up
in a proper manner? Is it theintention, - tlis.: l
regarding that :to force:the :matter upon.
the people of the county in the • et ape of the

their sympathizere,AlipAtnericampatilots, has
filled thehearti'ofeiitrue liaver'ef Refinh:
licanlnstitutions and friend of freedom, with
the deepest and most %poignant sorrow:
When, we look to .the 'causes of this molan
eholy:denourieenient, where, do we find them?
Are they presented in=tho coura pursued by
the present, administration in:relation to the
Americans who had voluntarily .offered their
aid to the, people of ,Culxi I I think not, tho'
Ude not-claim to .be aFillinore Man, far from
it, every-body that knows anything about me
knows that I never have' supported,lllr.
Fill
more, either as a ctindidate for office ores the
President of the United States, •yet, when this
chief Magistrate, hoWever, is Wantonly assail
ed, both North.and South on aceount of • his
course teaching; Cuban affairs, I think it .no
crime to express my very humble opinion id
relation to the matter. •
How stands , the case? Mr. Fillmore is almsi
ed in the North for the want of energy rind
vigilance' in suppressing the movement in the,
United States against the Cuban GovernMent.:
These are the Freesoilers 'and abolitionists
who do not desire any - further extention' of
Slavery, to which it is probable this movement
may eventually lead. :
On the other hand; the pecidiar self styled
friends of Cuban emanciPatitar in the South ,
are denouncing the President for presnming to
issue his,proclarnatiou against the 'fitting out
of armed expeditions In the United states
against a government, with winch we have a
• reaty of peace.
Why and wherefore is Mr. Filiniore assailed
in this fash ion? Look at the character of the
assailents and you will readily understand the
whole Matter. The assault comes from a oer-•
Aoki press gang, and their partizens, among
whom arc the New Orleans Delta and Pica
'pine, upon their shoulders mach ofthe awful
responsibility rests. The " Fillibusters' press
:now feel this to he the ciee -and. are_ already
endeavoring to hide themielves from the storrh
of indignation which a reaction in public sea-,
timent, backed by the waile.of bereaved kin-
dred over their slaughtered relations, threaten
to engul ph them.
The fact is plain, that there has been a 'vast
'amount Of deception and falshood practiced
'upon the voting and 'ardent citizens 'of the
South and 'West, to enlist flied in the cause
of Cuban independence! Exaggerated and
glowing ) , ne.counts
„ L ilac() been published of the
rising of the Cubans', of their patriotiem and
their valor, of their desire'for aid and of there
being such a wide spread arid, universal spirit
of revolution among thers which only needed
a competent' leader and a handful , of braVe
spirits to accomplish the deliverance of Cuba
from its degrading bondage. Then "came in
flated eulogies of the generalship, and prowess',
'of Lopez to conduct the expedithm, 4ntil the
end ivas gained, the equipment ofn sm 1l force
at NOW Orleans and the embarkation of nsgal :
ant a ban&as'ever "drew4ireath • on Ameriean
soil, on its perilous mission
-of freedom.
The result' has proven • beyo'nd a question
that the adventure was a desperate onea for
lorn hope. The promised - rising of the Creole
population was not a' 'belay. The people
were either too craven to see k• a change of
their condition or too ignorant to know they
were oppressed. In consequence the Spartan
band under Lopez and Crittenden were he
match for the Spanish forces; and the command
of the latter becoming separated were cut
_citr
and firiallyliecanie victims to Spanish revenge,
in its most diabolical form. All of which goes
to prove either that Lopez was not the general'
'he was cracked up to be, (though of unques
tioned bravery,) or that gross deception was
practiced by him and others in attempting such
an enmrprize with so small a torte. •
That unprincipled Editers_ and politicians
have caused the' soil of Cuba to be watered
with the blood of as gallant young fellows as
ever'imdertook what they conceived's libera
ting mission; there is no gainsaying. . -
Mr. Fillmore never did it, is . ',,the opinion
of your humble servant, (though it may widely
differ from that of a good many others.) For
it is well known that the President has des
patched ono or two vessels of war to:inquire
into the circumstances of that atrocious affair,
andhas done all thatbecotnesllll3l, as the chief
Magistrate of the :Union; to do. in the emer
gency. -
The GeOrgin State Fair, will; be, held in' this
[ place on the 29th of October; 'an interesting
time is anticipated by all. Much preparation
is being Made for the occasion. I Will give
.you a description of it, as semi is it is over:
With the hopethat the democracy of Penn
sylvania, who, have accepted the challenge of
California, will win their golden Banner.

whether I shall not reside here all my life.

taken place here, they have been the result
ot`neceseity, and . of. the
